Definitions
- the invention relates to cartons containing hubs or hub-like implements for wound stranded materials such as wire or rope, and more particular to cartons having a hub-like structure integrally formed with the carton.
- Cartons having hub or hub-like implements are useful for packaging and dispensing materials that are either stored on a spool or stored in a spooled configuration. For example, wire, rope, yarn and similar stranded material. It would be desirable economically and for convenience to have a carton which has a hub integrally formed with the carton. It would be further desirable to have such a carton which could be erected from a unitary blank.
- a carton has a plurality of adjoining side walls which form a tubular structure.
- a plurality of core panels are adjoined to one another in angular relationship to form a hollow core member.
- the core member is centrally and perpendicularly adjoined to one of the end closures (top or bottom).
- the end closures are formed by multiple plies of the carton.
- the plurality of core panels are adjoined to one of the end closure plies.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric illustration of a carton with integral core according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a plan illustration of a blank for forming the carton illustrated in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a top plan illustration of the carton of FIG. 1 looking downward into the carton viewing the bottom end closure and the erected core member.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional illustration of the carton of FIG. 1 showing the erected core member.
- FIG. 5 is a side sectional elevational view of the carton of FIG. 1 taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 6 is a plan illustration of the underside of the bottom wall of the carton of FIG. 1 showing the stabilizing tabs and flaps of the core member in engagement with the bottom end closure of the carton.
- FIG. 1 therein is shown a carton with an integral core 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 therein is illustrated a blank 12 for forming the carton of FIG. 1.
- the preferred embodiment of carton 10 which is illustrated is eight-sided to enhance its stacking strength and overall structural integrity.
- the invention is suitable for use with carton configurations of several different multiples of sides.
- the carton 10 of the invention has a tubular body and a bottom end closure, or top and bottom end closure.
- the tubular structure of the carton is formed by panels 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28.
- Bottom end closure is provided by panels 30, 32, 34 and 36.
- top end closure is provided by panels 50, 52, 54 and 56.
- stacking tabs 53 extend from the upper edge of several of the tube-forming side wall panels 20, 22, 24 and 26.
- the tabs 53 have complementary stacking notches 33 formed in the bottom edge of tube-forming side wall panels 20, 22, 24 and 26, and in one of the side wall panels 28 which overlaps another to close the tube.
- Several of the top enclosure panels 52, 56 also have notches 51 for accommodating the stacking tabs.
- a core member 40 is formed from a central core panel 41 which is joined at its sides by flanking core panels 42, 44.
- the core member 40 is joined to the bottom end closure such that it is centrally disposed in an upright posture (that is, substantially perpendicular with respect to the bottom closure and substantially parallel with respect to the tubular side walls) within the tubular side walls.
- the central core panel 41 is foldably joined to one of the bottom closure panels 30.
- the erected core member 40 is stabilized by either or both of a pair of opposing stabilizing tabs 43, 45 and 46, 48.
- a set of stabilizing tabs 43, 45 is integrally formed at the lower end of respective flanking core panels 42, 44.
- Pivotable stabilizing flaps 46, 48 are foldably joined along respective distal ends of the flanking core panels 42, 44.
- the stabilizing tabs 43, 45 and flaps 46, 48 are engaged with the bottom end closure to help immobilize the core member 40.
- the stabilizing tabs 43, 45 and flaps 46, 48 are engaged with the bottom closure by means of stabilizing slots 49 which receive the integral stabilizing tabs 43, 45 and the pivotable stabilizing flaps 46, 48 which have been folded into face-to-face relationship with respective flanking panels 42, 44.
